line continuation character (_)

Why does vb reject this character when I use it to break a line up? I am not using it within a string expression.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you use the '_' always make sure a space preceed it.

Code:

---


Str = "The cat sat" & _
" on the mat"

If Text1.Text = vbNullString _
Then
'do something
End If

---

:cool:

?
Try this:

Code:

---

MsgBox "Hellooooooh" _
, , "is it not working?"

---

I do ensure there is a space before the '_' character, it still refuses to work right. If I remove the '_' character, then the program works without a problem!

Is this a VB Quirk or is it just taking the day off seeing its Friday?? *lol*

Please post the code lines where you are trying to use the continuation character.

If (Label1.Caption = 7) Or (Label2.Caption = 7) _
or (Label3.Caption = 7) then
Image1.Visible = True

It's looking for an End If. Also you can't compare a lable caption with a number.

Code:

---

If (Label1.Caption = "7") Or (Label2.Caption = "7") _ 'add quotes
Or (Label3.Caption = "7") Then _  'add _ here
Image1.Visible = True

---

adding the underscore puts it all into one line allowing no end if
(or just put end if on the line after Image1....)

You cannot have continuation line in quotes.

(Example:
string = "Hello _
World")

But you could have it like:

string = _
"Hello World"
